! The ordinary way Of removing an
out Hleaves the difficulty of reversing
1T again, have seen so many do this
laboriously by hand that perhaps such
will be interested in my way of over
coming the difficulty. After removing,
draw it up again on the umbrella wrong
side out, and when taken off the second
time it will be found right side out,
again ready for use. The wearing of
the thimble on the second finger is
mere matter Of habit, so continued be-
cause so taught to every growing child.
1t is Far more convenient and natural to
wear it on the third finger, as in sewing
this one is in the proper position and
does not require throwing back as does
the second. If housewives will persist
in the effort till the first awkwardnesS
wears off, they will wonder that they.
ever wore It in the old, tiresome fashion.
